DICKSON, Tenn. --- Mississippi College men's golf remains firmly in the hunt after two rounds of the 2026 Gulf South Conference Men's Golf Championship, powered by a record-setting performance from Joao Iglesias and a balanced team effort at Greystone Golf Club.
 
The Choctaws sit third overall at 573 (+5), trailing tournament leader West Florida (565, -11) and second-place Lee (567, -9) heading into the final round. Union (Tenn.) follows closely in fourth at 574 (+6), with Valdosta State and Trevecca Nazarene tied for fifth.
 
Iglesias has been the centerpiece of MC's charge, holding the individual lead at 135 (-9) after rounds of 66 and 69. His opening-round 66 tied the lowest first-round score in tournament history and set the tone for the Choctaws' strong showing.
 
Todd McKie also delivered a steady performance, sitting third individually at 140 (-4) after back-to-back rounds of 70. Jack McKie (149, +5), Zach Robertson (150, +6) and Ben Eichelberger (154, +10) rounded out the team scoring.
 
UWF continues to set the pace in the team standings behind a consistent lineup, with three players tied for fifth at 142 (-2). Lee remains within striking distance thanks to Drew Zielinski, who sits second individually at 138 (-6), and a trio of players at 142 (-2).
 
Union (Tenn.) has also stayed in contention, led by Lane Carr (141, -3), while Valdosta State and Trevecca Nazarene have relied on balanced scoring to remain in the top five.
 

With one round to play, MC will look to close the gap in final round as it tees off at 9 a.m.
